How can you "forget" to disclose your own foundation while lobbying for it at the U.N. during the transition?

"Jared Kushner failed to disclose his role as a co-director of the Charles and Seryl Kushner Foundation from 2006 to 2015...

The latest development follows reports on Friday indicating the White House senior adviser attempted to sway a United Nations Security Council vote against an anti-[Israeli] settlement resolution passed just before Donald Trump took office, which condemned the structure of West Bank settlements. The failure to disclose his role in the foundation—at a time when he was being tasked with serving as the president’s Middle East peace envoy—follows a pattern of egregious omissions that would bar any other official from continuing to serve in the West Wing, experts and officials told Newsweek."

File this under "lying by omission" along with "nepotism."

I don't care for Kushner or Ivanka in the White House (because they are liberals and have her father's ear and related - what happens should they ever decide to get divorced? The mudslinging would be horrendous) but Kushner doesn't get paid so can you say he actually works for the White House/Trump administration? His salary is zero dollars. It's like saying a stay at home mom is an occupation. If no salary is involved, I call it volunteering.

By the way, if you want to know what anyone's salary is in the White House it is here:

Jared is quite forgetful apparently. He forgot hundreds of contacts when filling out his SF-86 as well. Perhaps his fil's dementia is catching?

Doesn't matter if he is paid or not. Federal law requires high level officials to disclose their activities and investments. It's in the public interest to help guard against conflicts of interests and self-dealing.

Kushner has completely abused the disclosure process. He's had 78 omissions on forms and has had to refile several times. He's been fined for being late on disclosures and for his omissions. He failed to disclose $1 Bil in loans from various lenders. He's failed to disclose high level meetings with Russian officials.

What is he hiding?

Kushner is totally clueless and a definite weak link.

More importantly, the fact that Trump trusted Kushner enough to: run the campaign, negotiate peace in the Mideast, overhaul the entire governments cyber system, oversee Mexican and Chinese policy, fix the opioid crisis, overhaul veteran's care, and reform the criminal justice system makes one gigantic point.

That point being that Trump has horrendously bad judgment, does not have any idea how to appoint qualified people to positions, and that Trump's extremely bad judgment is the reason he and his associates are in so much trouble.

Trump, using his incredibly bad judgment and ignoring the rules of nepotism, appointed Kushner solely because he is Princess Ivanka's husband, and Ivanka is Trump's Achille's Heel. Sad!

Trump as president is strictly amateur hour.

The entire Kushner situation shows how the Trump family has no respect for the American people or the American Constitution. We're in an anything-goes era, where running an international business empire from the president's office is OK.

He seems too quiet, like too many smarmy ideas going on in his head...projects IMO that he thinks he's smarter than anyone in the room.

Is that anything like "forgetting" your wife is US Secretary of State while you are paid a half-million dollars by Russia for a 30 minute speech? Or taking $145 million from companies involving Russia that were buying up 1/5 of US uranium deposits?

Just stop with the "whataboutism." This isn't about Clinton. It's about the current administration. Stay on topic, if you even can.
